Sony TV Discussion Thread III

[shadow84]

So for 55”, KD55X750H Is most value for money ? Any owner can share the experience? Thank you.

Im using the 49X7500H, only complain is that the blacks are damn black. Perhaps getting IPS like X8000H may be a better idea even though black might seem a little greyish but it would be brighter. I set the black level to max, still quite hard to see dark scenes.

how much can you get it for?

from rtings
https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/sony/x750h#page-verdict

"On the upside, its Android TV interface is easy to use, has tons of apps....."

Please adjust expectations for the kind of price you are willing to come out with.
Rtings rating of 6.9/10

Thanks for the link. Yes, that’s why I’m asking is it value for money.

Thanks. So I might consider X8000H.

The new Google TV aka "Android 10" will be on the 2021 J model. H is 2020 model.
And hopefully to be made available to existing Pie 9 users by the end of the year. I am just wishing here

Hey peeps! I’m in a dilemma and need help from you guys to help with my decision.

Should I get the 65X950G (2019) or 65X900H (2020)? I don’t intend to use it for gaming and would be used for watching free-to-air channels as well as paid streaming services.

Would you guys go for the newer model but lack the brightness in HDR or older model but has much superior brightness in HDR? Why?

cost delta is like $600 or 25% more. I will spec 25% more benefits, they way you explain it is like min like 5% delta. if so I go for X950G.

A good picture goes a long way. So I would pick the X950G over the 900H.
60 fps for console gaming isn't bad if you ever want to game with it.

i would wait for a few months and look at J series.

As smart TV is evolving and new tech keep coming in, i would not go for older models. I am not saying new models can last a lifetime but atleast there is a certain window (of a few years) to enjoy what is available. It can be anything.

Don't cry foul when your older TV do not get firmware update support from Sony. It is quite the norm for manufacturer to support a particular model for a few years only.

Just my personal opinion.

Thanks for the valuable feedback guys. The X950G will not have 4K120Hz, ALLM and VRR unlike the X900H which is a bummer. WHY SONY?!

The only real concern I’m afraid is the software update which will Sony might stop a year earlier given that X950G is one generation lower. (At least it can be flashed to X950H firmware to continue with the future updates if needed)

Yes I certainly get what you mean and it’s a valid concern. I do have my budget which is why I didn’t want to wait for the J series. Else I would have gone with the CX.

Why not OLED?
I saw it in action in a domestic environment and it really looks good, especially the black.
I'm waiting for the J series, and I will be looking at both the LCD and OLED models.

U stated below you not playing Games. ALLM and VRR is gaming feature for next gen console. if U not playing games u not using these features.

SW update will definitely stop earlier for older unit that just natural, don't be afraid it is guarantee to happen. if U dont mind paying 25% more money for that peace of mind sure. different ppl put on different value on peace of mind.

FYI: USA X900H just release SW update on 2/22 fix - Improves general performance and stability and enable ATSC 3.0.

I'm using a panel released in 2016, and they are still releasing updates for it.
If TV viewing is your priority rather than functions, then I'll go for the best panel.
If you just want apps, go to a gym, haha!
But seriously, if you really need lots of functions, maybe a TV isn't the solution. There are Andriod boxes and even stuff like Chromecast for it..

X9000H, $2499 Is it worth buying?

Check out the reviews:

Incidentally, I noticed that Sg will be slow in the 2021 TV releases, behind HK and Malaysia where the regional Sony websites are already updated with info of the new models.

Apparently, no 83” A90J for Asiapac..
